STARS/Electrodialysis Economics
If you own a STARS unit:
• Operations cost $ 0.03-0.05 per gallon includes membrane replacement
• Process from 800 up to 3,200 gallons per hour
• Investment $ 200,000 to $ 800,000
Cold stabilization by refrigeration costs $ 0.07-0.16 per
gallon.
2 to 3 year Return On Investment, at today’s energy rates.
Utility rebates are improving this further
STARS/Electrodialysis - How does it work?
Continuous operation, controlled by reduction of conductivity from tartrate
removal. No additives are used to inhibit precipitation or stabilize the wine.
System consists of 4 steps/processes:
•
Determine reduction of conductivity to achieve stability via STABILAB
•
Pass wine between the membranes to reduce conductivity by
removing tartrates via STARS.
•
Monitor conductivity to ensure stability via onboard conductivity
meter
•
Verify wine stability via STABILAB (ISTC50 test)
STARS/Electrodialysis – DIT -> STARS -> ISTC50
A comprehensive approach to Tartrate Stabilization
2-Probe STABILAB with Heating bath
for DIT test to predict tartrate
instability, STARS processing rate
and confirmation test - ISTC50, post
STARS treatment
(DIT- Degree of Tartaric Instability)
(ISTC50- Critical Tartaric Stability Index)
STARS/Electrodialysis ED3200
3,200 gallon per hour system
Semi-automated operation
Can run 24 hours per day with 2 CIP’s
each taking about 1.5 hrs. (~20hrs/day)
STABILAB: Predict Tartrate Stability
• Based on conductivity variation over 4 hrs.
• Wine samples are tested at -4°C / 24.8°F and seeded with KHT
• Calculates drop in conductivity required for an “infinite time” or
“absolute wine stability”
• Provides drop in conductivity rate (DIT) for STARS treatment
(processing rate in %, e.g., 18%, 22%)
• Verifies STARS treated via ISTC50 test (6 days @ -4°C or 24.8°F)
• All results are stored in software, can be printed and converted to
PDF files
• Patented tests (INRA / EURODIA)
• Used in major labs throughout Europe and North America

Right Technology, Right Time
STARS helps resolve current issues:
• Guaranty stability for 6 days at -4°C / 24.8°F for base, red, white and rose
wines regardless of level of instability or colodial structure by removing
K+, Ca++ and TH• Dial in stability and pH shift (TA shift)
• Stabilize red wines due to reduced barrel count and shortened release
dates
• Manage pH and TA issues (deacidulation)
• Calcium stability
• Increase production without increasing infrastructure
• Save time, money, wine, electricity and water and eliminate use of KHT
• Environmental sustainability “California - Flex Your Power” award
• Wine-just-in-time… (Centrifuge-XF-STARS-Bottling)
